It&#39;s known that signs of a large dog being present is more deterring than the sight of a large dog itself. <br /><br />A sign - perhaps printed on a color inkjet and laminated - that states, &quot;Danger, Infectious Disease Area! Take appropriate precautions when entering.&quot;<br /><br />A sign - again, printed and laminated perhaps - &quot;All persons entering this residence MUST be vaccinated for .&quot;<br /><br />A hand-written note left on the front door - &quot;Attention plumber - Timmy&#39;s pet Black Bermuda Adder Python got loose again. We *think* we have him penned up in the kitchen (or basement or garage), but we&#39;re not sure. Please wait till we get back to fix the kitchen sink.&quot;<br /><br />Or just be blunt. My entire time stationed on Oahu I had small signs on each window that said, &quot;Attention Thieves: No valuables left in this vehicle. The radio is rigged to not work if it is removed.&quot; I never had my truck broken into once and a friend with a similar truck had his window broken four times.

Now our uninhabited house still has the unmistakeable light and sound of a television each evening for the late news broadcast. You&#39;ve probably noticed that even with blinds closed, one can see from outside a house when a television is being used, because of the constantly changing light.<br /><br />We had an extended absence just after our neighbor&#39;s teenage son got a new car. Seeing their crowded driveway, I invited him to park in our driveway for the next three months.<br />DOuglas2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1806810941060175796.post-49031669795035417032013-01-22T10:31:41.719-08:002013-01-22T10:31:41.719-08:00We have an extra vehicle.

I change the wording on the notes every time. For example, one time the note might say &quot;Dear Bob, Pete is home waiting for you but won&#39;t answer the door unless he knows it&#39;s you, so call/text him first.&quot; Another time the note might say &quot;Sandy, don&#39;t go in, the rattlesnakes got loose again.

On my front porch, I leave a pair of size 15 (my son&#39;s) well-worn, muddy boots on the front door mat -as though someone had stepped out of them to come in the house. And I take a few seconds to rearrange those things when I come and go.

Great deal for only 10 bucks - wanna resell it? hee hee. <br /><br />Another trick is to have a TV on a timer in a bedroom that comes on late at night, intermittently. Add some bedside lamps on timers too, and it&#39;s as if the place is occupied. <br /><br />Kristin in Arizonanoreply@blogger.com
